Locomotive - And Other Funny Poems For Children

by Julian Tuwim

~~4,99€~~ 4,49€ 10% OFF

 LOCOMOTIVE RHYMES BY JULIAN TUWIM COVERDRAWING BY LEWITT and HIM LOCOMOTIVE is rather a big word for little people, the grown-ups may say, but this cheerful book from Poland is no ordinary 'youngster.' It is simply a book which the children will love-and one which they, better than any grown-up, will understand. For it contains three funny and musical poems from the Polish of Julian Tuwim. The stories are called Locomotive, The Turnip and The Birds' Broadcast - and that is exactly what they are about. They are addressed directly to the budding engineer, gardener and ornithologist among the younger generation - but first and foremost to the book-lover and the poet in every child. Narrator Mark Burghagen brings these poems in their original translation from 1938 to life in such a beautiful and heartfelt way that you can listen to them again and again and always discover something new! From melancholic and contemplative to witty and totally wacky. This is something you have to hear!

The Book Of Not Entirely Useful Advice

by A.F. Harrold

12,00€ + 10% CARD

 Bloomsbury presents The Book of Not Entirely Useful Advice written and read by A.F. Harrold. A riotous celebration of words and a modern take on cautionary tales - featuring advice on parrots, gravy, mathematics, castles (bouncy), spiders, vegetables (various), breakfast, cakes, and removing ducks from soup. Advice comes in many shapes. Poems come in many shapes. And so, it follows, poems of advice come in many shapes too. Sometimes they look you in the eye and say, 'Do this! Don't do that!' Sometimes they sidle up beside you and whisper, 'Have you ever thought about … ?' Not everything in this book is necessarily good advice, and not all of it is sensible advice. (But if you take the bad or un-sensible advice and don't follow it, then it may become useful advice in its own way.) Packed with silly rhymes, witty wordplay and thought-provoking story poems, this collection will delight children of all ages.
